17 Hour Sale for MLK Day and Benjamin Franklin Birthday

This is my first sale of the year. And this is the ONLY time you will see a discount like this on either product. Now until Monday January 17th 5pm USA Eastern time you have a great opportunity.

Discovering your Online Purpose only $24.99 now until 5pm USA est

My first DVD Purpose Passion Profit is designed to help you really get great results online. Because all  of us are walking universities of information. And you know how much universities make right? Don’t undervalue yourself online or off. I have some serious information to share. That should save you a ton of time and money.

Year in Advance Program $100 ($397 off) now until 5pm USA est

The Year in Advance Program is specially designed to help you FOCUS Hey you may “think” you have everything covered. But the truth is that many of you don’t. Here is a way to test that. Do you have more than 3 products and services created? Do you have 4 promotional campaigns running a month? do you have monthly, seasonal, and holiday campaigns set now until 12 months from now?

Purpose Passion Profit DVD

My first DVD Purpose Passion Profit from the CORE series is available now. There is a quick sales price that will end in less than 48 hours of my posting this article. I have been doing a lot of things wrong in the past. In fact when you get advice from me it is either because of scams discovered or experience.

What Purpose Passion Profit is a hour plus DVD that offers:

  • Solutions to making money easier with your natural talents (read my $8,000 payday from doing this below)
  • Revealing your purpose
  • Discovering your passion
  • Confirming your talents
  • 365 Day Money Back Guarantee!
  • FREE Updates for Life!
  • FREE shipping worldwide!

In the past I have learned the hard (wrong) way. You need to leverage your natural talents when running a online business. Otherwise you are setting yourself up to earn less and ultimately fail.

What that means is that if your trying to be a “internet marketer” instead of a writer then your making a mistake. You need to do what you naturally do BEST. Now I know some of you are thinking “Darren I tried that”.

But the missing link involves out the box approaches. Just writing a book or blog wont cut it. You have to go DEEP into your psyche and figure out what ALL of your talents are in relation to your writing. You have to game up! What can you do locally for companies? What can you proof? Who can you work with to elevate your name?

Reposition or die! You must become a authority on what you do. Authorities rule when their tribes are willing to “pay” for immediate solutions. That is why some have hit books with 10,000 speaking engagements and others are barely inking out a survival. In Purpose Passion Profit I am talking about positioning, your talents in a way that easy for you.

Purpose Passion Profit DVD

In Purpose Passion Profit I am showing you in detail exactly how to profit with your purpose, using your passion triggers. Then leveraging your talent to create more money. Frankly that is how I made an unexpected $8,000. Doing what I do best versus what I painstakingly thought I should be doing. Also positioning has helped me to provide a wealth of opportunities to clients who need a lot of specific attention.

So which talent made me that $8,000?

My ability to talk to people directly about solving their problems. I didn’t sell a thing in many cases. Only offered solutions and helped a lot of people.  I have always had a lot of ideas. I have always been able to generate content and promote constantly. The key is “how” I do that which means you have to use your natural talents.

Allow me the opportunity to share my experience with you. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Join the Purpose Passion Profit  experience.

So to me it makes sense to provide specific value to each group based on their specific skill level.

  • Newbies said they wanted clarity in creating an online business.
  • Intermediates said me they wanted greater specifics in certain areas i.e. sales conversions.
  • Advanced people said they want proven yet original ideas and strategies for fine tuning their business.

These DVD’s will come in (2) formats (English only for now)

Online Business Ideas for Paradigm Shifts

Recently I was at a conference that made me do a tremendous paradigm shift in my online and offline business. A paradigm is defined as a collection of habits.

And BOOM my habits just changed. In the next few days and weeks I am going to grow my income -10 times based on what i observed in the last week.

Have you ever just STOPPED. And thought about what your doing?

I am launching a site for learning how to create better paradigm shifts. It is after the method I have coined called KIEARC.

This is one of the most powerful methods for developing excellent online business ideas that really work. That because they have been through the washer. Well tested because they were quickly acted upon.

One of the most simple online business ideas for reshaping your paradigm

  • STOP blogging then ask yourself the following
  • How much is my blogging paying me?
  • How many people are being converted?
  • Am I serving my greatest purpose?
  • How can I repeat the proccess of serving my greatest purpose?
  • Am I doing what I naturally do BEST?

I have had to check myself really quick. Though I am not revealing all of my answers here are a few.

  • I am serving one of my greatest purposes on this site. But my greatest purpose will be found in my slight repositioning (paradigm shift).
  • I need to expand my personal brand even further than I already have.
  • The plus to being a member of a secret online business societies is that you get inside information. But the minus is that I forgot the importance of reapplication to others.
  • I need to do what I do BEST.

Take a quick assessment of your skills and ask yourself are you doing all that you should as well as could have?

Think and Grow Rich Study Group is a FOCUS group I just launched on Facebook (we will have our own website soon) to HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS!

Just make sure you click the I Like Button to join us.

Bob Proctor has convinced me over the past year and a half to NOT JUST READ BUT STUDY THIS BOOK. Thus began my trip to find a good study group.

When I say STUDY I don’t mean in the text book quiz you later definition. I mean so  you can UNDERSTAND .

And after much searching I discovered that all of the “Think and Grow Rich” groups across the web seem to cover the content. But few are stressing the study acumen.

Bob Proctor has been reading a chapter a day for 49 years! And even in the book it is suggested by a Thomas Edison associate Dr Miller Reese Hutchinson in the following passage.

From Miller Reese Hutchinson
““This is not a novel. It is a textbook on individual achievement that came directly from the experiences of hundreds of America’s most successful men. It should be studied,digested, and meditated upon. No more than one chapter should be read in a single night.”

He is VERY right. So instead of joining a group that either talked in general about Think and Grow Rich. Or joining a group that didn’t consistently follow the regime with passion and persistence. I am picking up the torch and running with it!

COME ALL TO A INTERNATIONAL STUDY GROUP for Think and Grow Rich!

72 Hour Sale DEEP Discount Before it is GONE

A lot of you have heard me talk about this book for sometime. It is a great way to backup your article marketing and other traffic generating efforts.
Well I am taking this book from begin sold on my website. And with that I am offering it at a super discount before gone Friday (72 hours) evening.

If your an affiliate

If you notice a lot of my products have disappeared. There is a method to my madness (laughing). I am focusing on private consulting, niche marketing mentoring, and helping run my companies ever growing web empire.

So I don’t have time to market all of my products but there is a plus for affiliates. My products will be appearing on select third party sites as well as some new surprises.

Though I don’t have the time to market my products directly any longer. I think the next best thing I can do is help those of you with sites get in on the action. All of my products will be at least at the 50% payout range or better.

As some of you know I (through companies and partners) have a lot of websites. But only until now have I decided to launch several to the public. What I mean is that most sites are hidden because they are niche marketing websites. I explain why I do not reveal those here.

But there are a several site I think would really benefit you both fiscally, mentally and even spiritually. So beginning in August (if not sooner) 2010. I am unveiling several sites that I know will change your life in large and small ways

The goal of each of these sites is to solve problems simply.

  • How to cherry pick the most profitable markets out there (using information that other companies spend millions of dollars to collect – that you can use for FREE). You just have to know where to get it..
  • How to tap into an unlimited source of FREE traffic from the search engines and slip right under the radar so that *NO ONE* has a clue as to how much you’re really raking in.
  • How to set all this on autopilot so that that the *ONLY* thing you have to do is check sales and collect profits (you don’t even have to spend a single minute on customer service).  Plus, a little place to ‘outsource’ your customer service that all the gurus use, yet none talk about…

Just a small taste of what’s inside.

101 Fresh Online Business Ideas for Spring 2010

Today I am going to give you 10 online business ideas for Spring 2010 that are going to ENHANCE the way you do business online!
Listen to my super cool ideas LIVE in audio

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

BOOK OFFER CLOSED ENDED

This is only a small example of the ideas I am going to share in my super hot limited release of my first interactive ebook. I say limited not to give you some BS scarcity ploy but it makes no sense to make it available all year long when it is only for Spring. Plus this is to give anyone that purchases it this week a HEAD START on your competition for Spring. I call it interactive because there will also be videos, PDF downloads, mindmaps, and even charts.

  • 72 Hour Sale starts Wednesday March 17th only $10 Dollars

  • Plus a BONUS ebook called Ideathon that I am creating from this weekends anniversary of my yearly social media marathon.

The purpose of 101 Fresh Online Business Ideas for Spring 2010 is to help you get a cutting edge fresh start (or restart) on your competition. Through this book I am going to help you do (3) specific things.

  1. Generate more targeted traffic
  2. Develop your product line
  3. Increase your email signups

These are not just ideas but examples and action plans. See when I was in corporate America I had to not only come up with ideas but show how they would work and give detailed examples. Anyone in corporate America knows that your butt is on the line so the ideas better be good and work.

The same thing applies to ME my butt is on the line. These are not just rehashed generalized info but specific ideas that 99% of your competitors are NOT doing. Another key thing to note is that this site is visited by my former co-workers, clients (past and present), family meaning my aunts, cousins, wife, nephews, nieces, and even in laws. So I can’t afford to look like an idiot in front of so many people by not delivering the goods. Because it would create some serious premium content delivered for Thanksgiving and Christmas if you know what I mean (laugh). Nothing like having that special uncle telling you exactly “how fresh” your ebook was last Spring hahaha.

10 of the 101 Fresh Online Business Ideas for Spring 2010

1. Create multiple springtime email marketing campaigns focused on your niche (emphasis on fresh new whatever you offer): people love NEW fresh things. One of the best online business ideas is to focus on re-purposing your content. Look inside your archives and pull out the most popular, relevant information and make it available in a (5) part email course. This way you are building your email lists.

2. Create a blogging series focused on sporting events.
In the United States March Madness, NBA playoffs, etc. Compare the game or team philosophy to something that your readers can relate to in your niche. You can relate to subjects like “winning” and facing the competition, teamwork, going the extra mile. Also it makes for good headlines and develop a connection and bond with your readers outside of your niche (unless its sports).

3. Create a Springtime MANIFESTO to distribute freely on your blog. Remember a manifesto is an idea or  collection of ideas. Well you are going to make a collection of ideas and a statement! But remember focus on spring, fresh new. Now is the time to talk of shedding the past and focusing on the future of today and the NOW of tomorrow.

4. April is Poetry Month (USA and World) so create if you can a series of funny poems about your niche that again relates to the reader. Even an memorable instructional for something. Example a poem about the first 12 steps after posting your blog article etc. Also make them into downloadable PDFs. Don’t write poems? Search your network to write some for you there are plenty of writers. See if you can barter your skills with them. Many writers HATE marketing for example. You may be able to help them.Also search a service like freelance.com. I think it is fair to offer say $15-$20 for a short poem. If you want more see if you can get a set price for say (10) poems. Of course ask for their portfolio and NEVER NEVER NEVER give a deposit. No matter how much they ask. wait until the work is done and you have approved. and if they refuse find someone else or seriously risk losing your money.

5. Did you know that April is Stress Awareness Month?
Hey if your a personal development coach or fitness trainer, minimalist blogger, or Zen blogger then you will LOVE this! Create content in the form of a series, do a countdown to your ebook release for relaxation or better health. offer some audio podcasts and video advice for free. Tie in your video series for the sale of anything you launch or already have. Also what if your not a fitness person? Well you can focus on the problem you will solve to help them relieve their stress.

6. A/B split test meaning alternate the headlines while sending traffic to the same sales pages. Change your headlines to see if your pages convert more. You can create two different pages to use. Google will actually help you do this for FREE. I will have more future information on how to do this.

7. Develop apps for BING: they may not be Google but they are open to working with people and getting to their number one ranking will still bring in significant targeted traffic. Remember even Google wasn’t always Google.

8. Feature your pet or a funny character as a guest blog. I am not kidding. You want to build trust? Create a username on your site for your pet. And have them blog about something in your niche from the perspective of a dog, cat, or whatever. People will TRUST you more and it will connect you more as a human being (funny). Plus they will happily share with others in their network something that is original and humorous.

9. Create metaphors from movies. Use the examples of a movie and its characters to express your point in your articles. Are you in internet marketing? Hey use wall street. Gordon Gekko played by Michael Douglas IS the GURU of Wall street. I recently did one with the classic movie Taxi Driver for the SEOless. But you can take this one step further and add both your keyword phrases and your title to your headlines.

10. Tie in a series in your niche (if your niche follows this) with the new IPADs coming out. Start writing content and see how your micro niche could benefit from the new addition to the internet world. Educate people how to operate them for your niche and the uses that would benefit them. For example graphic artists you guys should be revving up to write instructional posts like crazy. You could even create instructional ebook with links to videos.

A/B split test meaning alternate the headlines while sending traffic to the same sales pages. Change your headlines to see if your pages convert more. You can create two different pages to use. Google will actually help you do this for FREE. I will have more future information on how to do this.

So it is snowing in Dallas. Really weird. So I figured that since it is such an UNUSUAL day I would offer something UNUSUAL for the next 24 hours. So I am offering my cool blogging book “Simple Hacks for Business Blogging”.

dallassnow

So now until 6pm Friday February 12th 2010 my ebook is only $11 dollars! (normally $24.95). February 11th equals $11 dollars. Below are a several things that will help you. The BEST thing to me is that this is a book on clarity as much as information.

Making Money with a Blog the Right WayFunny story to share. I was at a Greek place and wanted a United States version of a Gyro. But to my disappointment the Gyro they brought me did not have lamb in it and tasted nothing like what I was used to eating.

They explained that it was higher quality beef and lamb authentic Greek. I have eaten Greek made Gyros before. This didn’t taste like my expectation. But instead of complaining I paid and left. Will I go back? HELL NO!

Now take out the Gyro and replace it with info products sold across the web. The idea is to give you what your searching for instead of what they think your you are searching for.

I wanted to provide a simple guide for launching a blog that incorporated both the WHY as well as the HOW. I wanted to give people what they wanted and needed. Now the HOW I have some really world class guys showing you in detail. But that’s been the problem in the past. We always covered the HOW pretty well. The instruction part is simple and in fact the other stuff once you get your head wrapped around it is pretty simple also. Where it gets crazy is that thousands try to launch a blog and fail. What makes this interactive ebook (video, audio, written) so powerful is that I cover the WHY in a very passionate way.This is for anyone who doesn’t have a blog OR isn’t making money with their blog.

Be honest with yourself you don’t need information you need aggregation.

There is no shortage of information only clarity. The age of information has DIED. In its place is the aggregation age. The new era is about clarity no massive info. All of the directions in the world mean nothing if you don’t understand WHY you are doing it. I wanted to promote something I would be proud to tell my grandmother and mother I created. Something I would be more than proud to defend in the infamous online Warriors forum.

Who is going to tell you the truth? The internet marketing people aren’t. The super in crowd bloggers won’t or can’t. So that leaves you with me. The guy who is going to share a simple idea with you. If I had a ebook like this years back when I started I would have saved over 5 figures in mistakes.

company of oneLast year I did some writing for Forbes but they really didn’t seem to “get it” so I am moving my column here to discuss the things that I believe that matter most to Online Entrepreneurs. I thank Editor Carl Lavin who first reached out to me to help them with Twitter for the opportunity to experience writing from a different perspective.

However there are several observations I will be sharing about Forbes.com in the future. Not in a vindictive “I am going to get you” kind of way. But in a hmmm “someone needs to grow a bit on the Internet” type of way.

When you are online you have to transition from traditional thinking when it comes to starting a business. This is the only major industry (the Internet) that can sustain with very little resources. The skill set and tools needed in online entrepreneurship are also different than those needed in the traditional world.

Company of ONE

The purpose of this section is simple. Help do it yourself entrepreneurs understand how to FOCUS on what matters most. As a company of ONE it is very easy to get sidetracked and misled. So we will start at the bottom and work our way up from there.

The Incubator, the Baby, and the 7 Foot Giant.

What is small in its incubation can grow and be replicated. If the idea cannot work in a small arena it will not (in most cases) work in a larger arena. An example would be a cab company. If the business model of a cab company doesn’t work then you shouldn’t be launching an airline company. And definitely shouldn’t start the airline before the cab company. Nurture your baby (idea) in an incubator and test it on a small scale.

The greatest products and services sold on the web are the one’s that solve a problem. Fit a product and or service to a market not a market to a product. Start small, test, fit a product or service to a market and solve their problem. Do this and two things are going to happen.

  1. Your idea will grow.
  2. Your idea will allow you to replicate in other niche areas. An example would be a business model of a video membership site that is training medical professionals could also be used to target attorneys and or accounting professionals.

Can’t solve the worlds problem if you can’t solve the problem’s across the street from you.

entrepreneurial online maze

IF you noticed for the last year there is a connected theme to the madness I have written about in detail. Whether it was about blogging, SEO, or a variety of online marketing methods one thing remains true. Simplicity is the foundational pillar of mastery. Take my twitter program which is opening its doors (once a month) again after being closed since last year. I teach via video, audio and a variety of methods involving the simplicity of building your twitter following. No tricks no gimmicks.

And in a nutshell that’s what I believe a strong fundamental foundation for building an online business is the key to success. Each of us have and entrepreneurial sun which exist in our own solar system (business). The planets and moons in your galaxy are the strategies, tactics and specific methods used to greater your solar system. The solar system cant exist (planets and moons) without the gravitational pull of the sun.

Online Entrepreneurial Focus

Online Entrepreneurial Focus

In 2010 I am going to take this belief to another level because many people have asked me how to create money online. But the truth is that though anyone can be an entrepreneur, not everyone can be an entrepreneur. There is nothing wrong with researching to see if that is your purpose/interest. However, before you search for money (or spend money) you should search for the reason people would want to give you their money. You must understand that each online entrepreneurial niche holds a exchange rate of value.

The 4 Pillars of Value

Remember no matter what marketing systems, tactics, and strategies (GURUs?) used to sell. It’s all about value. Value is the essence and foundation of any sale. No value no maximization of shareholder wealth. Simply put no value no business.

The 4 pillars of value will help a potential customer do any or all of the following

1. Solve a problem

2. Help them either grow, save, and/or enhance their (11+) resources

3. Helps them increase productivity with their time.

4. Peaks their Interest (curiosity, emotional, holistic, concern)

RATING BEGINNERwht

Intermediates: this is for people who want to go beyond the basics and get involved into the details. You are going to learn more specific information in detail. An example would be with my Twitter program. You may already have a great twitter page up and a several thousand people following you. But in my program I show you how for instance to find RAW content that 99% of people DON’T know about in ANY niche. Also I will be sharing specific Search Engine Optimization strategies from Google masters. And my last example specifically how people already with blogs can start turning their blogs into money with several techniques.

Advanced: This is where I get more direct and up close and personal. Advance information will involve anywhere from how to mash up your traffic sources, walking with me through a week run through of how I get thousands of followers on twitter a week. This information will more than likely be premium (pay) info as this is the most highest and exclusive quality.

2010 is going to be an exciting year filled with prosperity!

darren-scott-monroe-pic1Top 10 Questions People ask me plus you can also see my online short bio for a few more details about me.

1. When do you sleep?
LOL (Laughing Out Loud)  that’s because (and I am writing this 3am in the morning by the way) they ALWAYS see me online across social media and via a variety of communications. The answer to that is POWER NAP. In fact I wrote a funny story about it which is one of my wives favorite articles.

2. Do you do this (online marketing and media) for a living?
Short answer yes. My dream when I was growing up was to run my own business since I was 12. I am truly living the dream.

I am a entrepreneur marketer and also I do speaking and business consulting, so you could say I have a well rounded profession.

I am a master at what I do and do what I master.

—————————————————————————–

3. How do you get so many followers on social medias/ networks?

This is going to really sound simple.  Simplicity is the key to mastery.  I don’t do 5000 things online I do 5 things 1000 times.

  • I establish WHY I am building the network I am working on.
  • I immerse myself in the site and knowledge
  • I focus on a daily, weekly goal for building a network.
  • Then I get INTENSE

Now there is a lot of details beyond that but what makes me sad is to see people who look for the “Easy” way or “magic bullet” answer. Mastery has nothing to do with this. Mastery of Social Media involves mastering a few specific things then repeating the process.

—————————————————————————–

4. Can I pick your brain or can we talk on the phone?

No! Hey this has been my most productive year yet. I found out one of the biggest keys was to spend less time talking on the phone. I love what I do but unfortunately not everyone appreciates my advice and time. Well I do!

I am however doing some webinars so there is an opportunity to get the more direct info you need.

—————————————————————————–

5. How can I make Money on the Internet?
Wrong question the real question should be how do you make money from your passion, talent and skill?And that question begins with you not with me. From there it is a matter of finding that crowd that wants to purchase something. Google anyone? :)

—————————————————————————–

6. How do you make money on the Internet?
I run a web development company that owns and manages over 70 websites focused on specific niches.

—————————————————————————–

7. Why don’t you list all of your websites only a few?
A inside secret: in niche marketing you don’t even reveal the server, domain server or domain because of competitors. I have some of the tiniest cool funky niches I will never talk about in detail LOL!

—————————————————————————–

8. Where are you from?
Though my company is based in Las Vegas I am a native New Yorker raised in Chicago GO BEARS! My brother calls me a traitor because I am not a deeply big Giants fan.

—————————————————————————–

9. Do you have kids are you married?
No and yes. I am married to my lovely wife Cara Monroe and we do not have kids (as of the date I write this).

—————————————————————————–

10. What is the secret to running a successful online business?

The number one secret to success? There is no number one secret. Below is a combo of the answers that will help you.

  • Love what you do
  • You must be good at it
  • People must want to pay money for what you are good at and love to do (there must be a market online for it).
  • You must provide a lot of value.
  • BE WILLING TO FAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN. The biggest successes failed the MOST. For example the top home run record holders struck out twice as much. You must be willing to FAIL FORWARD FAST. Learn quickly what doesn’t work so that you may discover what does.
